god is everything, everywhere. i'm so glad for the term all-that-is because it perfectly captures what i'm speaking about when i bring up god. god is like a cosmic hologram: every portion within all-that-is contains the information of the whole, just as every cell within our bodies carries the genetic signature of our bodies within its dna.
i don't like the term reincarnation, though. i understand all-that-is to be a constant concurrence of infinity "confined" to one eternal moment. i put confined in quotes because it only appears limiting due to the illusion of successive moments we perceive as linear time. i consider our understanding of time as a methodology designed to pick apart the big picture and get into its guts. whatever the cause, this has brought about our fierce identification with individuality, ego. and thus we have the cascade of karmic suffering as these guts were explored through many consecutive lifetimes by various facets of the same "higher-self," which is itself one of the innumerable facets of our own collective oversoul, on and on toward the totality of all-that-is.
so yes, we've definitely missed the big picture but in the process we found ourselves. next comes the realization that enlightenment is something to be claimed rather than sought. it is the birthright of every being to which all-that-is owes its perfectly infinite existence. so how can this be done? live in the moment, fill it with passion and appreciation. i personally believe doing this resolves the karma of all our concurrent experiencing, opening our eyes to the "big picture" and enticing us to find an even bigger one!
